Biomonitoring of Heavy Metal and Metalloid Contamination in Industrial Wastewater Irrigated Areas Using Sugar Beet (Brassica oleracea L.)

Ilker Ugulu et al.

Summary: Despite the chemical and pollutant content, wastewater such as industrial and urban wastewater is widely used for agricultural irrigation in Pakistan. It is crucial to assess the heavy metal(loid)s contamination in soil and sugar beet samples, as well as the health risks associated with the consumption of these contaminated products.

Distribution of heavy metals in Phragmites australis growing in constructed treatment wetlands and comparison with natural unpolluted sites

Tereza Dvorakova Brezinova et al.

Summary: The study found that the base of the Phragmites australis had the highest biomass, while the top had the lowest. Heavy metals mainly accumulated in the base of the stems and the top of the leaves, with the highest accumulation of Cu and Zn in the constructed wetlands. The accumulation of heavy metals decreased from the base to the top in stems, while increasing in leaves.

Natasha et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effect of wastewater, canal water, and tube-well water on the accumulation of trace elements in soil and plant health in District Vehari. Results showed that the use of these irrigation sources is not suitable for vegetable irrigation in the studied area due to high levels of trace elements.

Effects of organic and chemical fertilizers on the growth, heavy metal/metalloid accumulation, and human health risk of wheat (Triticum aestivumL.)

Ilker Ugulu et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of chemical and organic fertilizers on heavy metal/metalloid accumulation in wheat samples, finding that wheat under chemical fertilizer treatment had the best growth parameters. Most heavy metal/metalloid concentrations in wheat grains were within safe limits, except for lead. The health risk index suggested that wheat grown with chemical fertilizers had higher metal content, but consumption of wheat from both organic and chemical applications was not hazardous to health.

Cadmium, chromium, nickel and nitrate accumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using wastewater irrigation and health risks assessment

Haq Nawaz et al.

Summary: The study found that wastewater irrigation negatively affects plant growth and physiological parameters. Risk quotient (RQ (TEs)) and cumulative risk index (RI (TEs)) values were calculated for each toxic element. Wastewater irrigation significantly increased the accumulation rate of metals and nitrate in wheat, causing potential health risks for children and adults.

Chemical composition and risk assessment of spring barley grown in artificially contaminated soil

Karolina Barcauskaite et al.

Summary: A model contaminated system was developed to investigate the bioaccumulation of naphthalene and its effect on the mineral composition of spring barley grain and straw. Results showed that high concentrations of naphthalene reduce barley germination and affect plant growth, leading to decreased grain quality. Furthermore, differences in mineral content were observed between barley grain and straw.

Trace metal accumulation in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) grown using organic fertilizers and health risk assessment from consumption

Ilker Ugulu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to observe the effect of different organic fertilizers on metal accumulation in pepper plants, to determine soil pollution severity, and to examine the health risks associated with consuming peppers grown with organic fertilizers. Results showed that trace metal concentrations in both soil and pepper samples exceeded the acceptable health risk levels, especially for cadmium and lead.

Global evaluation of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) in potato and carrot irrigated by wastewater: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and health risk assessment

Pouria Karimi et al.

Summary: The meta-analysis investigated the concentration of potentially harmful elements in carrots and potatoes irrigated by wastewater, revealing high accumulation of Fe, Zn, and Cu in potatoes and Fe, Zn, and Ni in carrots. The total hazard quotient of PHEs in both vegetables exceeded 1, indicating a potential health risk, especially from Cd, Pb, and Cu. Continuous monitoring and control of wastewater treatment plants are recommended based on the results.

Bioconcentrations and health risk assessment of heavy metals in crops in the Naoli River Basin agricultural area, Sanjiang Plain, China

Tiejun Song et al.

Summary: Ingesting crop grains contaminated with heavy metals poses a significant threat to food security and human health, with potential non-carcinogenic or carcinogenic risks associated with the consumption of these grains. The concentrations and bioconcentration factors of heavy metals in soybean grain were significantly higher than those in corn grain, indicating a higher accumulation of heavy metals in soybeans. The hazard index values for children caused by the ingestion of corn and soybean were higher than 1, suggesting a potential health risk for children.
